[mou-net] related, and belated, Lac qui Parle Weekend

We recently enjoyed our 4th (I think) Lac qui Parle Weekend, and had a good birding experience, as always. Thanks, to Ken Larsen and the other guides, who know the local birding spots and often scout in advance to know what species might be current at different sites. Their job was especially diffi

[mou-net] Forestville and White Water SPs

As others have reported, very little action even down south this weekend. We did find 4 Louisiana Waterthrushes on territory in White Water SP (saw two of them) and saw a Veery. Other warblers were only Northern Waterthrush, yellow-rumped, palm, and yellow. At Forestville, equally bleak for b

[mou-net] Help with song ID.

Anyone want to take a shot at this bird song? I heard it today (sunday, may 7) Just south of Brownsville along the Mississippi, in the Reno State Forest. I think the bird was in the brush in the front of the video. It has 3 parts: starts with several up and down notes, then several slower chirp

Todd Mitchell and I spent the morning at Forestville walking the loop to the north of the bridge through lowlands and up the ridge then back along the river. Warblers were scarce other than numerous (>100) Yellow-rumps but only a single palm otherwise. No vireos to be seen either. Best birds in
